ACF (Army Cadet Force)

The Army Cadet Force (ACF) is a voluntary youth organization in the UK that offers young people aged 12 to 18 the opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork, discipline, and outdoor skills through military-style training and activities. It operates as a partnership between the Ministry of Defence and civilian organizations, providing a structured environment where cadets learn about the armed forces, participate in challenging exercises, and build confidence. The ACF promotes personal development, community engagement, and leadership, aiming to prepare young individuals for future roles in civilian life or armed services, all in a safe and supervised setting.
